Now, Assemblyman Kevin Cahill of Kingston has introduced legislation to designate a section of state Route 375 as "Levon Helm Memorial Boulevard."

Said Cahill: "In a world that often compromised integrity, Levon Helm cultivated the tradition of professionalism with a deep respect for his craft and remained refreshingly genuine throughout his life."

Lim, who was known as a consumer electronics expert and who had previously worked at Palm Inc. and Fujitsu Ltd., was brought in by MTI in 2006 as CEO to take charge of the company's micro-fuel cell program, which has since been put on ice.

Lim was let go in September as the company slashed costs to focus on its profitable MTI Instruments division that makes measurement and test equipment used in the semiconductor and aviation industries. The company had said after releasing Lim that it was possible it would owe him a severance package.

However, several days ago, an MTI filing with federal regulators said the company would only be paying Lim $30,000 in attorneys' fees in conjunction with negotiating an agreement that will release him from any restrictions in his contract with MTI. That's so Lim can pursue what MTI says is a new business venture in the consumer electronics industry.
